- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- And then a scholar said, speak of talking.
- And he answered, saying:
- You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts;
- And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime.
- And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
- For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.
- There are those among you who seek the talkative through fear of being alone.
- The silence of aloneness reveals to their eyes their naked selves and they would escape.
- And there are those who talk, and without knowledge or forethought reveal a truth which they themselves do not understand.
- And there are those who have the truth within them, but they tell it not in words.
- In the bosom of such as these the spirit dwells in rhythmic silence.
- When you meet your friend on the roadside or in the market-place, let the spirit in you move your lips and direct your tongue.
- Let the voice within your voice speak to the ear of his ear;
- For his soul will keep the truth of your heart as the taste of the wine is remembered.
- When the color is forgotten and the vessel is no more.
